THE AUTOCRAT.
The GLARS OFFICIAL DECLARATION
In Regard to the NihiliSs Attempt to Take
HIS Life.

ST. PETERSBURG, March l9.-Tbe fol-
lowing Is an authorized official declaration
concerning the attempt upon she life Of the
Car:
1T is no; believed that theactive section
of the constitutional party has such an eI-
tensive and influential following as some
foreign journals represent. The Constitu-
tionalists instead of being wholly distinct
from the Nihli<ts. are nothing hut the
executors of 4 milder programme, cioaking
the violent methods OF Nihlism - Is to
secure a certain mount of tolerance from
the educated and thoughtful classes OF
Russia.
The Cars advisers are convinced from
long observation that the influential
classes in Russia
10 NOT CONSIDER THAT TIT TIME HAS
ARRIVED
in the political development Of the empire
for the introduction Of a Constitutional
Government by His Majesty. Nor do the
Panslavist party desire ConstitutionAlism.
On the contrary, they declare that the Su-
tocratic form OF government, tempered by
a Just administration of the ooiifed laws,
is desirable until Russian territorial ex-
pansion hiss reached the limits set for it
by PanSlaviSt ideas. State Socialism. Is
recently promoted in Germany. Is being
carefully studied by the Russian Govern
ment. the Car being well disposed in favor
81 Snch progressive economic changes in
the territories under Russian sway as shall
conduce 10 the happiness and welfare OF
the Russian people. The Car
WAS DEEPLY IMPRESSED
by the terrible circumstances under which
his father met his death. The last attempt
upon his own life, projected by Nihilists,
produced a feeling Of horror. Still il i
unlikely that it will lead TO a change Of
his previous policy.
His Majesty cannot but view with min
gled bitterness and regret the position IN
which he Is placed by threats and perilS
continually besettin2 him. He deploreS
the necessity which continually exists for
costly extensive precautions Tor his per
sonal safety whenever be desires to travel,
even / move beyond the precincts Of
the palace-rcStrictious which impede his
movements and prevent his seeing his PEG
pie a. they are, and Judging for himself
concerning their needs. The Cars aver
sion 10 piunging Russia into a ruiuOus and
truitle>s war continues as great as ever.
No change in his convictions IN this respect
Is expected by his advisers, except in con
with his views. on Russian ImIeT-
ial interests.

CHICAGO. March l9.-The parents OF
Miss Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife OF
August Spies. the condemned Anarchist,

which she i placed.
She persists in declaring herself the law

herself Mrs Spies,' and is ~ addressed
by the limited circle Of acquaintance
who have clung 10 her in spite Of her e.
cauade. Tut the County Clerk has ne-

cate 10 the Justice who performed the Ger

II Is believed that if Justice Englehart
returned the certificate 10 make II appear
that the male party was Gins Spies THE
brother of the Anarchist. and who acted a.

10 permit the situation 10 lie calmly dis

deal Of mental anxiety. Legal opinions
which have heen sought have proven con-

August Spies or Of Chris Spies, OF still a

that twice before she mas been whipped. 4
boy she raised. named Prewitt, said TO he
q had character, was whipped aud run of
for selling beer. The old lady continued
the business. and this i the supposed
cause for the whipping. Mr.. Lair says
whether Others were wounded or not Is
unknown. The firing on the kukluN was
from parties outside Of the hou%. The
killed are John Long. Walker Turpin and
John HaSty. All live in that section

a worthless, halI-witted feature who WAS
a tenant OF Mrs. FIsh's. He was Wis
tied several times by the yigi-
lantes, and finally run out Of the
county. About a year ago, 1t will ~
remembered. these VIZ .antes whipped a
man named Ramsey in the same neIghbor-
hood. Ramsey WAS found dead shortly
a~fterward, presumably having committed
suicide. The HUFF boys -ere accused OF

their attempted arrest resulted the terrible
tragedy in Mount Vernon last summer, IN
which the Moore brothers, Tom and Jack.
were killed by LAe Carter. Carter has
since teen acquitted for killing one Of the
